Well, I'm a long way from Muroc, and I'm
certainly not a player right at the present.
But, I would think that if you polled everybody
who might be an entrant, the majority of them
would gladly pay an extra $50 to keep the legend
alive. I know I would. When you consider all of
the costs involved in participating in an LSR
event, an extra $50, to go directly for such a
good cause, would only mean two extra days at
McDonalds instead of steak and fries!
